That one called this one a dud.
Neither could be clearly seen,
Once they were done slinging mud....

Awash in a big sea of blood
Trump's Cash Cow was chewing its cud
Kim Jong-Un laughed,
"Don't be so daft!
You know it was only a dud!"...

A teenage girl defied her ma
And went downtown without her bra
But no boys were there
And girls did not care
What a dud thrill "Life in the Raw"!...

There once was a cat named Bud,
Who thought he was such a stud;
Until a vet trip,
They gave him a snip,
Now Bud's not a stud but a dud.

Stuck Truck

My truck is stuck in the mud.
It bottomed out with a thud.
So here I sit,
Pitching a fit,
This trip was surely a dud!...

I used to teach night class
For those who hated school
And dropped out

A couple came in once.
Took the pretest.
She was an ace.
He was a dud.

He beat her for this....

Some monsters were mashing in a vault
Then Caspar screamed "it wasn't my fault"
Dracula turned on the light
To reveal Halloween fright
Old Frankie lost his head with loose bolt...

Zeekie and Mildred were buds.
Neither thought the other a dud.
Friendship so true.
They each had a tattoo
As symbols of undying love....

Lazy Cow
Dr. James E. Martin

The cow loved to chew her cud
As she lay in the cooling mud.
She was lazy you see,
As lazy as could be,
Some would even say she was a dud....

There was no bigger dud than Elmer Fudd
Though he fancied himself a marksman stud --
   He shot at Bugs Bunny
   Looked awkward and funny --
Thought he got him, but it was his own blood...

Growing Glitch in Moscow Mitch

What we found was a growing glitch, 
That would appear in Moscow Mitch;
Chews his cud;
Real dumb dud, 
Then it tight together he must stitch.

There's something on my hand.
Get it off! Get it off!
It bit onto me and
I've hid it with my cuff.

Its face is buried deep.
Sucking blood! Sucking blood!
I've named it Fractious Freep
It looks like a Milk Dud....

A Flood of Poems

My many poems  have turned into a flood,
And none of them ever did become a dud;
Tall tree  with top;
Writing can't stop;
Are like beautiful flowers that begin to bud.

that went thud....

There once was a character named Eli
Who really loved the fourth of July
He thought he was a stud
His fireworks were a dud
So he got a new gig and moved to Thai

janey was always making a mess 
she would go through the trash 
she was always covered in paint 
she liked to play in the mud
she needed to be blessed 
when she was looking she found a new sash 
she needed to be praying to the saints 
she always dressed like a dud...

Time change
  Night arrives with a thud
Weird feeling, strange
  Daytime's a dud

Abrupt, precious light
  so quickly departs
Nerves tense, uptight
  upset frail hearts

Enveloped by night
  to our caves we retreat
disappointment-fueled flight
  Destination ~ Defeat...

Bugs Bunny 
A trickster who is always funny
What's up doc?, He loudly said
As he hid under Elmer's bed

Elmer Fudd
He is known as quite a dud
Elmer's always chasing that rabbit
Never to nab it, has become his habit

NEW   PARENT    BLUES


Cool dude used to be  - 
Did loadsa stuff in my day,
When I dared.

Used to do cool-dude deeds.
Maybe even a bit of a hipster doofus.

That personality died -
Indeed those days are gone and dead.

Cos now I’m just  somebody’s dad……….
…….Dad…….
…….Just a dud.

Florida Mosquitoes 

A boy stayed with his grandma one summer.
Mosquitoes loved him; it was a bummer!
They liked to drink his blood.
It never was a dud.
They lined up to slurp him for dinner.

Co-written by Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen and her 6-year-old grandson who said that the mosquitoes lined up to 
eat him....

If it was not….

If it was not by weapon,
My folks would have slain me with abhorrence.
If it was not inherently,
I would be their Desperado King for ever.
If I was not egoistic,
I would have been feasting with my broods,
If it was just,
I would have been a dud 
If it was not the distance,
I would have been alone....

Jarring to spine,
normally ears carry it just to brain,
here the rotten voice music grain,
had climbed down,
and chilled even the spine,
it was concert,
organized perhaps in concert,
to promote a dud,
not caring that,
not even single audience would be alive,
by the time it was over,
most would have fainted or dead....
